Anniversary

August a month for wedding anniversaries, our 25th and Hannah and Jason's 1st.
Hannah and Jay have been married a year but have been together a lot longer, their wedding was a lovely event and it is good to know that Hannah has met someone who makes her happy. They look after each other so well and are great parents to our absolutely gorgeous grandchildren.

At the beginning of our annual leave Chris and I celebrated our 25th, we decided to spend the day by ourselves and go on a picnic (which I have always loved to do since I was a child).
The day started with a cup of tea in bed for me, then we had breakfast together. Chris then gave me my present, a beautiful silver bracelet with butterfly's on and a pair of earrings I said I liked.

I had already given Chris my gift, it was a garden bench. I know it sounds weird, but Chris likes to sit outside and have a smoke in private (he is a great believer in privacy) so with the garden bench installed, he is a happy man.

After opening our cards Chris asked me to go on Facebook, when I got on to my page there was a message from Chris, it was a song he had written and recorded the day before called '25 years', it was a beautiful song and a present that is priceless, worth so much more than any material gift.

When our picnic was ready we went off for our walk along the coastal path. we found a lovely spot and set out our food, chatted and enjoyed our home made cream tea and the pink champagne with strawberries (of course). After a few hours of enjoying the breath taking views and polishing off the champagne, we decided to head back home and chill out before having our evening meal.

All I can say is that it was a wonderful day spent with a
very important person and here's to many years of memory making, family gatherings at least two more weddings and more grandchildren (hopefully!).

BRING IT ON!

The rest of my holiday went in a flash, so fast I can't even remember what I did...no wait a minute hey that's right I painted  my kitchen and I'm very happy with the result too :)

Well, take care

catching up.

This is the first blog I have written in about six weeks or more,just do not know where the time has gone. I took  part in the race for life with my two daughters in Truro  on July14th  (at least I think it was) My husband Chris came along to supprt us all which was great except when he decided to take photographs of us doing our warm up exercises! ( and I have not put them on here either!)

It must of been one of the hottest days ever ..it certainly felt like it!

Lets see  what  else is there  ah yes that thing called work  but I have to confess I do love my job. It is great to go out in the mornings knowing that today will not be the same as yesterday.

The second weekend in August Issyb organised a manicure for me as a birthday present, my mum and sister joined us along with my Granddaughter.  My lovely granddaughter then came for a sleep over we had a wonderful afternoon and evening.Sunday was also good my eldest daughter Hannah and son in law and my Grandson came over, my son was also there plus my mum and sister, the sun was shiniing and we ate a buffet tea in the court yard.

Monday, my birthday, Hannah and the children made me breakfast in bed which was a nice suprise then  I opened my cards and presents.
  my,mum and sister arrived and  more relaxing in the court yard, my girls cooked a roast dinner which was delicious and more birthday cake yum!.unfortunately the day had to end Hannah and crew had to go home as Jason had to go to work.It was also our last night with Issyb who was going back to Keele on Tuesday the time seems to have gone so quickly but we all had a great weekend.

So a big thank you to all my family for a wonderful weekend and to Chris for doing piles of washing up and most of all for being there always.  

 Tuesday morning Issyb had a coach to catch so Chris and I dropped her off at Hannah's house said our goodbyes and went  off to work.

Thank goodness I had work because although Issyb has left before it does not get easier at all but i did get the promised updates as she travelled and when Matt, her boyfriend met her at the other end and I could speak to her when we got home, I know she was tired but she sounded happy which was lovely to hear.
So thats me up date
.
,Enjoy the rest of the summer.

Take care Sarah-Jane
